Sadamapargi

Sadamapargi is an Estonian toponym referring to a public park located near a harbor or waterfront. The name is a compound of sadama, meaning harbor, and pargi, the genitive form of park, and it is used in place names to indicate the park’s geographic context. As a toponym, sadamapargi is not a single, fixed landmark but a label applied to multiple harbor-side parks in Estonia.

In practice, parks designated as sadamapargi typically occupy waterfront areas, offering green space, promenades, seating areas, and access to views of ships, piers, and the harbor basin. They may include playground equipment, lawns, and walking paths that connect to harbor promenades or city streets. The exact layout, facilities, and management depend on the municipality.

The use of the name reflects historic and ongoing urban planning trends that integrate recreation with the maritime economy and port life. Because sadamapargi is a descriptive geographic term rather than a unique site, it may appear in different towns’ official maps or wayfinding materials without implying a common administrative status.
